The Actions

On a State and local level, scope appropriate
pedestrian crossing improvements as part of existing projects; include in other studies or
other plans under development. For each location amenities such as crosswalks, pedestrian
signals/phasing and safety (refuse) areas need to be considered.

Estimated Annual Cost ($Millions)

$0.5 to $0.9

Overall Traffic Benefits

Low (but viewed as an integral part in
building a bike/ped system)

Other Impacts and Considerations

Impacts from pedestrian signal timing and
phasing on vehicular traffic would have to be carefully considered in design (and
monitored).

Lead (Sponsor)

NJDOT
